Quotes by Nafissa Thompson-Spires (?)

“Kevan wore a black T-shirt that said in white letters, 鈥淓ff Your Respectability Politics.鈥� He liked the irony of the word 鈥渆ff鈥� instead of the F-word, but he still debated whether it was better to change 鈥測our鈥� to 鈥測o.鈥� He wasn鈥檛 sure if anyone understood the stakes in these decisions or in any of his other art, which he sold online, from his car, and occasionally from a small suitcase in the barbershop on Washington Avenue.”
